The Neighbourhood

We all I am is a man. I want this world in my hands. I hate the beach but I stand in California with my toes in sand. Use the sleeves of my sweater, let's have an adventure. Heads in the clouds, my gravity.

Young Hollywood

Jesse, Zach, Jeremy from The Neighbourhood. How are you lads?

The Neighbourhood

Good, how's it going man? Just chilling?

Young Hollywood

Is this your chilling position is it?

The Neighbourhood

This position right here means that This is trying to relax, you know what I mean. Just kicking back. Love it.

The Neighbourhood

for you here. And now, so let me both your hands in the halls of my sweater

Young Hollywood

Now your music's got a very different sound. um individual sound I should say. If it was a packet of chips, what flavor would you be?

The Neighbourhood

I like that.

Young Hollywood

Oh, you like that one?

The Neighbourhood

Yeah, I do. Uh, maybe the Also because I'm I'm really, really picky. Usually, I'll go with like plain chips or something like that because I don't like any like like a gross Cheeto bullshit on me or whatever. But I would say we are the Fritos. The honey, the twisted honey barbecue, Fritos.

The Neighbourhood

Dude, you're so wrong.

The Neighbourhood

No, they don't agree.

The Neighbourhood

Dude, that These questions might break up the band. Like Paul or something. What? That's so not us. Dude, there's so much more of like a kettle chip or something. We're a kettle chip. We're so not a kettle chip. No. Actually, we're Salt & Pepper kettle chip. Yes, that's what we are.

The Neighbourhood

I think just take your breath away. I don't mind if there's not much to say. The silence guides our minds, the move to a place so far away. In the goosebumps are your race, right when my left hand meets your waist. Now I wipe your face. No, I wipe your face.

Young Hollywood

I know, and you guys are doing some shows at the moment. Is there any fa favorite show so far? Anyway, you're really excited to go?

The Neighbourhood

I mean, festivals are obviously exciting for a new a new artist, and um, you know, our music, like I said, is getting all over the place. How you said, "with sweater weather." I mean, I know a lot of our audience is coming because of sweater weather, which is so cool, you know, it's a good uh way to get people to the shows and then let them hear the rest of what we do.

The Neighbourhood

the halls of my sweater. Maybe just take your breath away. I don't mind if there's not much to say. Sometimes the silence guides our minds, to move to a place so far away. The goosebumps are your race.

Young Hollywood

And when you grow up, is this always what you wanted to do? Like when you're at school and you get asked that question, "When I grow up, I want to be"

The Neighbourhood

I wanted to be in a boy band. What did you want to be when when you grew up? Yeah, I mean, I consider I consider us a boy band, to be honest. I consider us more of a boy band than I do a like rock band, I guess. We're not really trying to be a rock band. We're just trying to make good pop music and and make pop music good and cool and dark and interesting again, I guess.

Young Hollywood

Right. And so you always saw yourself doing this.

The Neighbourhood

Always. Yeah.

The Neighbourhood

for you here and now. So let me both your hands in the hope. Cuz it's too for you here.

Young Hollywood

Um, let's talk about we we like to do tat chat. Let's talk about your tats. All right. Yeah. Are you uh where where do we start? You've beaten me on this one. I don't know.

The Neighbourhood

I always kind of I always cared about like since I was a little boy, like I always cared about style and fashion and like uh personal taste and having like, you know, your your whole your own flair and everything. I think it tells a lot about like before you have to talk to someone, like what you're gonna get kind of.

Young Hollywood

Do you have a favorite?

The Neighbourhood

Um Uh, I like this one. Yeah, I like the one I have on my throat. Especially 'cause it's like the only black and white one that I have.

Young Hollywood

With the older the the black and white thing, that's always been your vision. You've always taken control of that on your on your own.

The Neighbourhood

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there's just something we thought of from the beginning. We decided it'd be cool and some people get it like like twisted in a weird way and like think that like like a lot of people are like, "Yeah, it's cool. I love the classic vibe." And we're like, "No, we're not really trying to do like like the old film Noir classic vibe so much." We kinda touched hinted at that at the beginning, but now, especially like we're new black and white, dude. Like we're this is like this is like new school shit, you know.

Young Hollywood

You're bringing black and white now. Thank you for stopping. And then wrap us up with that finger thing. What is that?

The Neighbourhood

Oh. It's the I don't know. I just he asked me like, I just do this sometimes because we take pictures a lot and sometimes I just like want to do something different like with my with my body. So I started throwing up the forward West Coast. I hope this doesn't mean anything like horrible and I have no clue like it does. You're gonna get shots. Yeah. That's it. The Neighbourhood. The Neighbourhood. Neighbourhood. Thank you, Thank you again, Young Hollywood. of my sweater.
